Noisy scooter — Brooklynian

Noisy scooter

edited November -1 in Prospect Heights
There is one Chinese delivery guy I hear 3/4 times a week - sometimes several times a night - crissscrossing the 'hood on his crappy little scooter, and he just makes an infernal racket on that damned thing. I timed it today on the street and I could hear his fucking scooter 75 seconds after he passed me by. That scooter is gonna go missing, if you catch my drift. Or sugar will mysteriously materialize in his gas tank. If you know which restaurant he delivers for let me know.

    Sugar does nothing to gas. Urban legend.

    Another fantastic example of how noise can drive you nuts in this city. Since delivery is this guy's job, it's not going to go away. 311 for the store (not the delivery guy--he doesn't need to be hassled) might be in order, but don't go illegal. This guy is not doing anything on purpose to piss you off; it's not like a boom car, where the noise is intended to be "shared."

    Yeah, come on over Captain M and put things in perspective for me. You cretin. If your motorbike has a loud muffler then it has a muffler that doesn't work which is illegal asshole. Muffle this.

    Quit being an asshole yourself. You do realize that we track IPs...?

    Oh, and Metulj, I was being facetious and would never tamper with this guy's machine and while you are correct that sugar doesn't particularly affect gasoline it can and does travel and can block the fuel injectors or the fuel filter. Better luck next time.

    This place will be so much nicer when guest posting is eliminated. In fact, that would make a swell Christmas present for us all...

    It would be a Festivus miracle! :P :twisted: :P
    Wikipedia wrote: The Festivus Miracle

    While not an official element of the holiday or its celebration, the phenomenon of the Festivus Miracle should not be overlooked. When, at one point in the episode, two sleazy betting-window guys from the off track betting parlor call H&H Bagel (Elaine's fake phone number) for Elaine Benes, and Kramer (who was on strike against H&H, but gave in because he had to use the bathroom) answers the phone. Kramer explains that he is about to see Elaine and invites the bookies to join him for Festivus. Kramer enthusiastically declares "It's A Festivus Miracle!".

    Kramer reports another Festivus Miracle when Gwen finds Jerry at the Costanza home, despite Kramer's previous directions to Gwen. At best, a "Festivus Miracle" is a coincidence rather than a genuine miracle.

    I seriously doubt that scooter has fuel injection or anything approaching a sophisticated fuel system. I guess if you put a pound of sugar in the tank, sure, but I would not want to see what would happen if said Chinese delivery guy were to come out and catch your ass tampering with his ride either. 55 gallon drum of whupass, I'm sure.

    I think its the yummy taco guy. I live in fort greene on the boarder of prospect heights and he delivers by me too. The other day I saw him and wanted to shoot him and whom every ordered from there.

    I, too, have noticed some annoying scooter noises lately. That thing is way more annoying than the loudest motorcycle... perhaps because it presents itself more than once a night, whereas loud motorcycles are far and few between. Most motorbikes aren't bothersome to me...
